Odd question about debris in fuel tank

[beernutz]

This weekend when I was gassing up I added some fuel stabilizer. I poured the stabilizer into the cap of the bottle then poured that into the tank. As I overturned the cap I noticed a small, probably plastic liner fall out of the cap and directly down into the tank. It happened so fast I wasn't sure I really saw it happen but I'm unfortunately pretty sure it did. I have no idea if the liner floats or not. Should I be worried? Anyone have any ideas on how to remove it other than turn the boat upside down and shake?

I dont think it will be a problem it will just sink and find its way to the corner lowest point..

Don't worry about it. It's probably the cleanest piece of crud in your tank and won't be going anywhere if it's plastic.

Thanks. I will sleep and boat a bit easier. There wasn't much, if anything, I could think of to do myself anyway.

Probably not the only piece of "debris" in there either!
